BL AINE’S UNLUCKY HOUSE
TSISry TEARS OF JiVIL FATE
HOVER AB3ITT ITS WALLS.
A9 gass:nation and Death Have Fallen
Upon Its Occupants Through c amlly
After Family—A Tragic History.
prom the Xew York Sun.
Washington, Feb. 3. —The death of Mrs.
Copl'inger, Secretary Blaine’s daughter,
directs attention anew to the unlucky house
m which the Biaines live. The h .use is the
,j ggm-ard mansion, aud in it Mr. Blaine
hs met his keenest personal sorrows. There
were fears of calamity overtaking him or his
family when it was announced that he had
lease d the old building, aud gossip, super
stitious and tragic, was heard among
aU w i) o knew the history of the place.
Had it been a haunted house, had ghosts
seen there in co iveation, thero
could not have been more talk. Some folks
tbtre were, though, who believed that the
luck of Blaine would offset everything, and
wiien on the second Wednesday of last
month the family of the Secretary of State
ra ve a reception to their hosts of friends,
g:.d the rooms were filled with a gay, tor
ture-favored throng, the protestants
against superstition declared that the spell,
if ever there were any, was broken.
Vet within a week the eldest son of the
s eretarv, Walker Blaine, feil sick and died,
i : at made talk about the house, and peoplo
• id it was an unlucky spot. Now Mrs.
i'.qipinger, Blaine’s daughter, is dead, and
onr p. more the s ory of calamity is told.
There may bo some hing, there may be
nothing, in the tale of superstition, but cer
tain it is that if the house was in the real
estate market to-day it would be long
More it got a taker. The house stands on
Lafayette square. It was built before the
war, and one of its earliest occu
pants was Secretary Spencer Upon
his g family the evil spirits of
the house first visited their fate. The secre
tary’s son was a lieutenant in the navy, and
while his father was in the House his son
was hanged to the yard arm of his ship for
his alleged participation in a mutiny. Then
the Washington club had the place during
President Buchanan's administration. The
men about town belonged to the club, and
Philip Barton Key, the reckless, adventur
ous district attorney of the District of
Columbia, was ono of the members.
There had long been talk connect
ing him with the handsome wife of
Gen. Sickles, then a representative in
congress. The Sickles house was on La
fayette square, and ono February morning
when the sun wa3 shining a handkerchief
was seen fluttering from one of the windows
in the house of Geu. Sickles. Young Key
answered it and stepped bouyantly up the
square. Sickles, who had seen the signals,
caught him in front of the house, and in a
moment Key lay on the walk woundpd to
death. It is only a few years since the tree
against which he fell was cut down.
Secretary Seward next occupied the place.
Op. April 14, 18G4, while he lay ill in bed, a
man came to the house saying he had been
ordered to fetch some medicine and deliver
it in person to Mr. Seward. This was de
nied him, but the stranger knocked down
Frederick W. Seward and a servant, rushed
into the Secretary’s room, and tried to kill
him with a dagger. He was captured, but
■ e escaped and rode off on his horse, which
had been standing in the street. His name
was Lewis Payne, and after awhile he was
caught aud put to death. The war depart
ment, fearing that other attempts might be
made to assassinate Mr. Seward, ordered
that a sentry patrol before the house night
and day. This was clone, aud for four years
was continued, oven though for a long part
of that time the Sewards were not there.
Next the mansion was taken by Secretary
Btdknap. He had not been there loug
before his wife died. That ended the occu
pancy of the house as a residence. The gov
ernment rented It and used it lor the com
missary-general’s office. When the cominis
■•ary-general’s staff w.is moved to thj ifew
building of the war department the house
was left vacant, and no one dared to face
the evil futes by taking it until Mr. Blaine
had leased it. He tore down the partitions
that made rooms where the Seward assas
sination had occurred, and, with a lavish
spending of money, transformed the musty
old office apartments, and made them beau
tiful with the furnishings of a rich man’s
home. But the decorations have seemed
more like those of a tomb, aud men want to
know what will be next in the series of mis
fortunes that appear to come to those who
inhabit this historic home,
LIFE IN HONDURAS.
Unpleasant Features of the Place
Where Major E. A. Burke Besides.
A special dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat from San Antonio, Tex., says:
Mr. Alfred Raphael, who has been absent
for throe years, returned to San Antonio
yesterday. A great part of his time has
been spent in Central America, and espe
cially in Honduras. Concerning the con
cession to Major E. A. Burke, defaulting
state treasurer of Louisiana, hesavs:
“It is located three miles from the town
of Concordia, and I have been over it very
often. It is many miles in extent and is
very valuable, particularly from a mineral
point of view. The lodes are both gold and
silver bearing, tha latter predominating,
and some of them very rich, j did not see
Burke while there,”
Of Honduras in general, Mr. Raphael
says: “Like all tropical countries, it has
its drawbacks. First, the climate. Al
though we were at an elevation of 3,000
feet aud kOO miles from the. coast, the
changes during the twenty-four hours were
at times very severe. During our winter
months it will probably average 85° from S
p. m. to 11 p. m. As the sun lowers a cool
breeze comes from the mountains, followed
by a heavy' mist, which chills one through.
The thermometer drops before midnight to
hV, and several times dropped to 54°.
"The houses are made of mud (not adobe).
The roofs are made of tiles so laid as to
i rep out only tha sun and rain, but with
donrs and windows closed the wind will
sometimes blow out a candle placed in the
middle of the room. Underclothes taken
oil at night will be saturated in the morn
mg. There is no use making a fire, as the
heat, all goes out through the basket-work
'oof. Besides, it must be built on the floor
i’ the middle of the room, and the heat
seems to draw every irsect within forty
yards into the house. There is not 5 per
cent, of the population free from chills aud
fever, aud it shakes one pretty lively down
there.
‘‘A great portion of the people sleep in
hammocks, others on raw hides stretched
on a frame. This style of bed can get
carder and keep colder before morning than
the lining of an ice box. Not even the
poorest will sleep on the ground. The in
sects are various, vicious, and venomous,
the scurpiou is %?ry plentiful and builds its
cost in the tiles of the roof. It keeps warm
and quiet during the day and at night
prowls around, and getting numbed with
C' Id loses its grip and quite too often con
trives to fall onto or into the bed. Then
there is music. They are much larger than
°'trs, more than twice the size, but are not
c msidered dangerous to adults. The chil
dren go into convulsions from the pain of
tne sting, and it is so severe sometimes as to
cause death. It depends on what portion
of the body is stung. The cassampulga is a
Bm aU black spider with red spots or snipes,
and it is greatly feared by every one. Its
cite is invariably fatal if not attended to at
once. The negua, or jigger, is the chap
that lays its ejgs under the skin of the
toes, a >d in three days its nest, of which it
*' ln the center, is as big as a buckshot. Its
presence is known by a slight itching: then
the skin must be carefully raised aud laid
back with a needle point, and a little sac
removed without breaking it. It looks like
a gram of barley, and leaves a clean-cut
r 'Und hole to the flesh, which will be
noaled the day following. If the sac is
rckeu and any of the eggs loft, as is often
the case, it is sometimes weeks before the ,
person is able to walk, avd the sting must
be carefully attended to.
“There are species of flea brought about
ti e doorway of the hou-os by hogs, who are
often rendered unfit for food from the
ravages of this tittle pist. I have seen
them with both toes of th- hind fo >t almost
eaten away. The mo it dreaded of all the
sakes is about twenty-four inches long and
as thick as a big siusag •. It is of bright
green and mottled with brown. It is
called taMagas. It is also ave y pugnacious
chap. Ihe tuea cuitiva’e corn and sugar
cane, and the women and children go each
day into the hills to wash gold with vari
able luck. Sometimes a woman will make
?1, and often when they strike g fid gravel
it is not unusual for them to make $5 in a
few hours. As may be supposed, poverty*
is practically unknown. Besides, they have
at their door, in almost every garden,
bananas, pineapples, orango- - , coffee, an t a
great variety of fruits not known in this
country.”
A DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Savage Fight Between a Rattlesnake
and a Centipede.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
“Ugh! What is it? Take it away!” The
frightened speaker was one of several em
ployes of Pierce & Cos., engaged in hand
ling hardware in the basement of the firm’s
establishment on Broadway. He had al
most placed his hand upon the object that
had startled him.
“Look out! It’s a centipede, and a big
one, too,” cried one of his companions, “it
must have got into one of the packages
from bananas or other goo Is shipped at a
southern port while the hardware was on
board the vessel on its way from the east.”
This was ample warning to prevent care
less meddling with the c-utiiKKle, but the
hardware men determined to capture him,
and after a little effort the many-legged
curio was scooped up on a shovel and car
ried upstairs. But even then tuey did not
know what to do with their prize.
In the drug store adjoining was a monster
rattlesnake, kept as a curiosity* in a box iu
tha show* window*.
“I-et’s put him in w ith tho rattler and
ftart a zoo,” said one of the group, and the
suggestion was received with approval.
The centipede was carried in and dumped
into the box with tho rattlesnake. An omi
nous rattle andquivering of tne body of tne
snake showed that he resented tea intru
sion, and the centipede, apparently realiz
ing his rnalo frantio efforts to
escape by crawling around the edges of the
box. The rattler glared with fury upon
the venomous crawler, and attempted
several times to coil and strike tha iut u
der; but the space of the box was too lim
ited, and, after several vain efforts, which
all tho time were accompanied bv an angry
rattling, the snake, gliding forward with
darting tongue, gradually closed up on his
enemy, and the centipede wassoon writhing
in its last agonies.
But it was not vanquished without retal
iation. The many legs of the centipede
had been doing their deadly work, and
whan the snake moved away from his vic
tim he himself began to show signs
of distress. He tossed about from
one side of his box to the other,
rolled over, coiled and uncoiled
his scaly length, and in every way, except
by cries, betrayed his agony to the group
of interested spectators. In about an hour
the body of the snake begau to swell rap
idly*. His struggles became gradually
weaker, and iu two hours from the time the
fight commenced his snakeship rolled over
and died. The poison of the centipede had
done its fatal work. Tho body of the
srake was swollen to twice its natural size.
The rattlesnake and the centipede lay dead
together in the box, and thus ended this
strange duel to the death.
It Can Be Done in Sixty Day3.
From the Railway Aye.
Nellie Bly’s trip is entitled to go on record
as the most rapid journey which has ever
yet been made in a circuit of the world, and
the enterprising journal and the self-reliant
girl are entitled to praise for the achieve
ment. But if the question to be solved was
what is the shortest space of time in which,
by the route taken, the journey could be
made, supposing that trains and steamships
were arranged so as to carry the traveler
at ordinary speed, without loss of time at
connecting points, it can easily be shown
that the journey* can be accomplished in less
than sixty day’s. The little traveler who has
just finisnod the round iu Ti)£ days lost over
thirteen dais by waiting tor connections,
viz.: one day in London, tw oin Ceylon, five
in Hong Kong and five at Yokohama, and
also lost at least one day by* unusual delay
iu crossing the PacL.c Ocean. She also
traveled 213 miles more than would ordina
rily be necessary between San Francisco
and Chicago, an account of a detour caused
by a snow blockade, and her route from
Chicago to New York was about forty miles
longer than the shortest. She traveled at
the speed of the ordinary trains and steam
ship schedule, except in the run fi om Sau
Fruucisco to Chicago, wtiich was made m
eleven hours less than the fastest regular
run by the shortest route. But even allow
ing for this special gain it appears that the
around-the-world trip can be made in !e-s
than sixty days, assuming only that all con
nections between trains and steamers are
closely made, although the rate of speed is
only that of the present schedules for each
part of the j urney.

Cured by Oiaticura
Our oldest child, now six years of age. when
an infant six months old, was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure it; but it spread with
almost incredible rapidity, until the lower por
tion of the little fellow's person, from the mid
dle of his back down to his knees, was one
solid rash. ugly, painful, blotched and ma
licious. We had no rest at night, no peace
by day. Finally, we were advised to try the Cuti
cura Remedies. The effect was simply marve
lous. In three or four weeks a complete
cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow sper
son as white and healthy as though he had never
been attacked. In my opinion, your valuable
remedies saved his life, and to-day he is a strong,
healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of
the disease having ever occurred.

Boy Covered with scabs
My boy. aged nine years, has been troubled
all his life with a very bad humor, wtiich ap
peared all over his body in small red blotches,
with a dry white scab on them. Last year ha
was worse than ever, being covered with scabs
from the top of his head to his feet, and con
tinually growing worse, although ho had been
treated by two physicians. Asa last resort I
determined to try the Cltici ra Kemmiics, and
am happy to say they did all that I could wish.
Using them according to directions, the humor
rapidly disappeared, leaving the skin fair and
smooth, and performing a thorough cure. The
CtmccßA Remedies are all you claim for them.
They are worth their weight in gold to any one
troubled as my boy was.
